16
Q

Glomerular Capillary Endothelium

A

Fenestrated, small openings
Too small for blood to pass through

17
Q

What substance are found in filtrate

A

Water, ions
Small organic molecules (Glucose, Fatty Acids, Amino Acids, Vitamins)

18
Q

What makes up the Renal Tubule

A

Proximal Convoluted Tubule (PCL)
Nephron Loop
Distal Convoluted Tubule (DCL)

19
Q

Where does PCL begin? What is the lining

A

Tubular Poles

Simple Cuboidal containing microvilli

20
Q

Where does filtrate from Renal Tubule go

A

DCL empties into collecting system
- Collecting Tubules from several nephrons all lead to a common collecting duct

Collecting Duct leads to Papillary Duct

21
Q

Where does urine from Papillary Duct go

A

Papillary Duct –> Minor Calyx –> Major Calyx

Urine then leaves kidneys via urinary tract

22
Q

Where does urine from Urinary Tract go

A

Ureter –> Urinary Bladder –> Urethra

23
Q

Types of Nephrons

A

Cortical Nephron (Dominant)
- Short Nephron Loop

Juxtamedullary Nephron
- Long Nephron Loop

24
Q

Function of Nephron

A
  • Creating concentrated urine from eliminated waste
  • Reabsorbing useful material and water
25
Q

Descending Limb

A

Water leaves and enters bloodstream

Simple Squamous Epithelium

26
Q

Ascending Limb

A

Impermeable to Water
Pumps ions

Simple Squamous Epithelium

27
Q

Vasa Recta

A

Capillaries around nephron loop

28
Q

Juxtaglomerular Complex produces what hormones

A

Renin (BP Regulation)
Erythropoietin (RBC Production)

29
Q

When is filtrate considered urine

A

When it leaves the kidney
–> When it is in the Minor Calyx

30
Q

Collecting System Epithelium

A

Collecting Tubules: Simple Cuboidal
Papillary Duct: Simple Columnar

31
Q

Describe movement of urine starting from papillary duct

A

Minor Calyx –> Major Calyx –> Drains into renal pelvis –> Drains into ureters

Exits Kidney at Hilum
–> Extends to urinary bladder

32
Q

Layer of Ureters

A

Inner Mucosa (Transitional Epithelium)
Middle Muscular Layer (Smooth Muscle)
Adventia (External)

33
Q

Location of Urinary Bladder

A

Males: Between Rectum and Symphysis Pubis

Females: Inferior to uterus, Anterior to Vagina

34
Q

Male Urethra

A

Different Regions
- Prostatic Urethra: Prostate

  • Membranous Urethra
    Short segment that goes through pelvic cavity
  • Spongy Urethra
    Penis
35
Q

Female Urethra

A

Shorter than males

Anterior to Vagina

36
Q

What ureter sphincter do we control?

A

External Urethral Sphincter

37
Q

Urine Storage Reflex

A

Urine storage increases sympathetic activity
- Inhibits Detrusor Muscle
- Stimulates contraction of internal and external urethral sphincters

Urine does not leave

38
Q

Urine Voiding Reflex

A

Stretch-Activated Spinal reflexes stimulate -

Parasympathetic Activity
- Detrusor Contracts
- Internal Urethral Sphincter relaxes

Decreases Sympathetic Activity
- Internal Urethral Sphincter relaxes

39
Q

Is Urine Voiding Voluntary or Unvoluntary

A

Voluntary Reflex
